Abstract: Methods and vectors (both DNA and retroviral) are provided for the construction of a Library of mutated cells. The Library will preferably contain mutations in essentially all genes present in the genome of the cells. The nature of the Library and the vectors allow for methods of screening for mutations in specific genes, and for gathering nucleotide sequence data from each mutated gene to provide a database of tagged gene sequences. Such a database provides a means to access the individual mutant cell clones contained in the Library. The invention includes the described Library, methods of making the same, and vectors used to construct the Library. Methods are also provided for accessing individual parts of the Library either by sequence or by pooling and screening. The invention also provides for the generation of non-human transgenic animals which are mutant for specific genes as isolated and generated from the cells of the Library.

Abstract: A surgical instrument incorporating visualizing optics is disclosed. The instrument comprises a handle supporting a rigid hollow shaft, an expanded tip is located on the distal end of the shaft providing a surface that will not tear or easily penetrate tissue. A fiber-optic assembly, containing at least one illumination transmitting fiber, a plurality of image-carrying fibers and an objective lens mounted near the distal end of the image fibers runs the length of the shaft. The objective lens is positioned relative to an opening in the tip allowing viewing. Light for illuminating the surgical site passes through one or more illumination fibers and through the opening in the tip of the probe. Light reflected from the tissue at the tip of the probe is focused onto the distal face of the image bundle by an objective lens and is then transmitted to the proximal end of the image bundle. Connectors on the proximal ends of the illumination fibers and image fibers facilitate their being coupled to an illumination source and a viewing device.

Abstract: A system and method to enable a wide user community to be universally networked in voice communication. Server/IVR 100 receives voice communications from users employing a variety of device types, primarily computers and telephones. These voice communications may be in either asynchronous format, incoming from data grade networks such as the Internet 140, or synchronous format, incoming from standard telephony networks such as SPN 109. Server/IVR 100 functionality seamlessly integrates these voice communications and provides point-to-point, conferenced or broadcast connections of multiple users regardless of user device or asynchronous/synchronous connection format. Server/IVR 100 may also selectively call up automated speech resources ("robots") to be placed in voice communication with users.

Abstract: A method for setting stones in the surface of a jewel produced by electroforming, comprising the following steps: producing a base having external shapes and dimensions with a thickness close to the gold film forming the wall of the jewel to be produced and having seats for receiving the stones; depositing on the base, before setting the stones, a protective coating, then a thin gold film; setting the stones in the seats; then depositing a second thicker gold film; and finally extracting or removing the base and the protective coating. The invention is characterized in that when the base is being produced, at least one passage is provided perpendicular to each seat, capable of communicating, once the stone is set, the space between it and the bottom of its seat with outside, so as to enable the depositing of the second gold film to reach the space. The invention is useful for jewels produced by electroforming.

Abstract: A Java TM -to-Database Connectivity Server monitors client communications, accesses a database such as a Sybase relational database, upon client command establishes a connection to the database, accesses requested data from the database, manipulates the data, and relays the data to the client. The Java TM -to-Database Connectivity Server is programmed in the Java TM  programming language to facilitate communications with Java TM  clients using Java TM  sockets. The Java TM -to-Database Connectivity Server includes an Applications Programmer Interface (API) on the server side of a client/server interface and implementation of System Query Language (SQL) queries on the client side. The Java TM -to-Database Connectivity Server supplies an interface between Java TM  applications and database servers using an easy-to-use Java TM  server Applications Programmer Interface (API) forming a uniform framework for building or integrating database connectivity across organizations and companies globally. A single API supplies connectivity with a database, for example, with Oracle or Sybase database servers. In some embodiments, the Java TM -to-Database Connectivity Server is platform-independent and usable on any platform in any usage model (nomadic, remote access, Internet, and Intranet, for example), and encoded entirely in the Java TM  programming language using sockets and multi-threading.

Abstract: Système de nettoyage et de blanchiment des dents, constitué d'une brosse (1) à dents émettant un rayonnement électromagnétique et d'un dentifrice (31) contenant un agent photosensible. La brosse à dents possède une surface de nettoyage, telle que des poils (8), et est en outre adaptée pour diriger un rayonnement vers la surface de nettoyage. Ce rayonnement peut être monochromatique ou polychromatique, peut être pratiquement exempt de rayonnement ultraviolet, et peut être composé essentiellement de longueurs d'onde dans une plage de 300 à 750 nanomètres. L'agent photosensible est dispersé dans l'intégralité du dentifrice et transmet le rayonnement à travers une épaisseur variable déposée sur une surface cible. Une partie importante de l'agent photosensible réagit, ce qui entraîne le blanchiment des taches, l'élimination et/ou la détection de substance non désirées et/ou le moussage. Ledit dentifrice peut être transparent et comporter des particules abrasives transparentes. Un procédé de mise au point dudit système consiste à formuler le dentifrice avec des agents photosensibles qui réagissent à une plage de rayonnement électromagnétique et à produire une brosse qui émet ladite plage de rayonnement.

Abstract: A fluids contacting and dispersing apparatus for a fluids contacting column is provided including a perforated cover plate, a device for positioning the cover plate over a tray opening and securing it within the opening. Deflecting members span each perforation in the cover plate to prevent bleed fluid from shooting straight up and hitting the underside of the above tray. The deflecting members also provide a surface for dispersing lighter, finer bleed fluid flowing upwardly through the perforations over a central zone of the cover plate and into heavier fluid flowing across the tray in the path of the cover plate. The deflecting members direct lighter fluid into what would otherwise be a stagnant central zone of the cover plate. The cover plate is positioned over the tray opening by legs which are integral with the cover plate and are slidable within the tray opening. The fluid contacting and dispersing apparatus may be in a fixed, fluid dispersing and contacting assembly or in a movable, valve assembly that is displaced upwardly by the lighter fluid. The valve of the assembly provides finer exchange over a greater active area to increase efficiency and lower energy requirements.
